  1. Wondered why my images folder is so huge. Turns out there's a hidden .recycle folder used by Samba/CIFS to act as network level trash bin. You know… in case someone deletes something from a network share by accident.

    So all the time I was freeing up space on purpose I ended up with an additional copy on the remote fs 😩

    * I use the F-Droid app SMBSync2 to backup my images from the smartphone automatically to my local network share.

  2. So now I have a Storage Box from #Hetzner mounted to a PBS VPS as a #CIFS mount. This thing works faster than I expected, without issues so far. Will see how it goes.

    Also, 1TB for € 3.20 is quite a good price. Cheaper than #Backblaze. And I can mount that storage to #HomeAssistant as a backup target as well.

  4. quicktipp #107: On modern Linux you don't necessarily need Samba to create a SMB share. The Kernel now has its own SMB3 server (KSMBD).

    Note: This needs a kernel >= 5.15 and compiled with CONFIG_SMB_SERVER. Ubuntu 24.04+ ships it.

    If you are in Red Hat land: This is currently disabled in Fedora and EL10 (for EL9 the kernel would be too old anyways), so you'd need to build kernel + usermode tools yourself.

  5. Możliwe zdalne wykonanie kodu w module ksmbd w Linuksie

    W świecie usług są takie, które przewidziane są do publicznej ekspozycji oraz takie, które nie powinny być widoczne „ze świata”. Nie oznacza to jednak, że bezpieczeństwo tych drugich może umykać naszej uwadze. Na szczęście wiedział o tym badacz Nicholas Zubrisky z Trend Research, który poinformował o znalezieniu krytycznej luki w...

  6. A question for systemd users:

    I have a --user mount unit for a cifs network share. The unit fails with an error that there is no corresponding entry in fstab. I thought mounts were supposed to be a sort of hotplug for fstab ?

    I have very little experience in this so I may be totally off the mark. In this case, any reading/links you could point me to would be very helpful.

    A quick mount-on-login has turned into a typical systemd nightmare T_T

  7. CW: mac rant tech apple frustration

    Why I Think #Macs Are A Pain in 2025: A Rantlet

    • Leveraging network shared storage (#AFP, #NFS, #CIFS, doesn't matter) is a raging hemorrhoid PAIN.
    • They have secured these machines into near un-usability. Getting an older USB-A/B external hard drive hooked up is a nightmare, and when the "Allow external device to connect?" dialog somehow goes missing? FUUUUUU
    • Ports. This is better on the newest high end MBPs but - usb-c only SUCKS. Just don't do it. EVER. At least ethernet and HDMI FFS.
    • I can't get any Mac (work issued MBP M3 or my wife's m2 Macbook) to connect to video through a USB-C adapter without juddering the screen into unusability

    In short: Apple has optimized the Mac for people who sit in coffee shops drinking soy lattes, never connect their computers to external devices, never try to utilize network shared storage....

    They seem tomake them for people who don't REALLY need to use their computers beyond what came in the box.

    And if that's all YOU need, good on you, but as a long time Mac user and former lover, I'm getting a bit frustrated!

  8. Installing #OpenMediaVault on the #RaspberryPi so far... has been kind of a headache, despite how it always seemed 'simple' on other people's videos... Kinda wondering if I'm better off, just, setting up #SnapRAID, #mergerfs, and #Samba/#CIFS manually.

    I don't think I need
    #OMV specifically, using the Pi as a simple #SMB share that I also happen to run some #Docker services on, I just thought it'd be neat to finally try out OMV, after having only used and been familiar with #TrueNAS all this while.

    Well, while it was busy installing (which I initiated remotely, through SSH), for some fuckin' reason I got disconnected to it and I couldn't reconnect to it through SSH again. Why does this only happen when I'm a million miles away (exaggerating) and have no physical access to it but when I'm literally in the same building, doing the same type of thing thousands of times, everything just.. goes swell to the point that it deluded me into thinking
    #KVM 's a waste of money :')

    Ein SAMBA-Server ist eine großartige Möglichkeit, um Dateien im Netzwerk zu teilen, und ich möchte euch in diesem Video durch den gesamten Prozess führen.

  10. Dites les zinzinternets !

    Est-ce qu'il est possible d'appliquer une limite (ou un quota) sur un point de montage #cifs dont on a pas la maîtrise ? 🤔

    J'ai une #storagebox chez #hetzner que je voudrais partager, mais je ne parviens pas à appliquer une limite d'espace pour un utilisateur.

  11. Does anyone know if it's easy to proxy a / server?

    I need to allow shares from a small system to be accessible via a VPN from elsewhere. I don't think I can install Wireguard on the Synology box but I can bring up a Linux box with Wireguard and proxy to it or even do something with NAT to redirect traffic to it...?

  12. To be honest: The #Linux in-#kernel implementation of the #CIFS protocol kind of sucks, from a UX point of view. Multi user only works (so so) in an AD environment, and his noodliness forbids you disconnect the network before unmounting.

    Granted, other network filesystems do suck, too. But CIFS is what's most widespread out there. And it's annoying that the GVFS variant has better UX overall, but has a crappy DE attached to it.

  13. @CyDeFect @FiLiS all of these are missing too many details to tell anything about them. Except for #CIFS (although you probably don't even want that but #SMB3 instead, #Linux just kept tthe "CIFS" name although supporting SMB3), all #FreeBSD offers is indeed #SMB1. Whether this is an issue or not depends on your scenario and environment. I just offer my shares via #NFS as well, problem solved for me.

    BTW, #seamonkey was removed mainly because of a #python2 (EOL for a long time) build dependency. IIRC this is meanwhile solved, so the port *could* be readded, it's just someone would have to do it and maintain it. There's an inofficial port available, you'll find it on the forums.

  14. If there are any CIFS/SMB experts floating around, does it seem accurate or absurd that deleting a file in a folder tree has a different effect on the timestamps of the folders "above" it than deleting a folder?

    If dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/hello.txt is the structure, dir1 is "above" dir3.
